An overview of Synlab SDN Biobank's quality control system.

Biobanks are valuable service units that ensure the usage of high-quality biological samples. They contribute to translational research, and their support may improve future therapeutic approaches. They store biological samples that can be used to examine circulation biomarkers, immune cells, and immunohistochemistry aspects of illnesses and further in-depth examinations using NGS techniques.

Identification of a circular RNA isoform of WASHC2A as a prognostic factor for high-risk paediatric B-ALL patients.

Pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is a serious disease for which a better understanding of prognostic factors and new therapeutic targets is needed. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are promising markers due to their stability and differential expression patterns in various diseases. However, their role in pediatric B-ALL patients, particularly in risk stratification and relapse prediction, remains poorly understood.
